Great news about Sam from yesterday.... he called me at work and told me how in PT they put him in a manual chair. He was joking around saying that his was doing counter-clockwise doughnuts since his right arm seems to be a little stronger than the left right now. Today, he called and said he's been practicing holding cards since he has a Texas Hold'em Poker game that's part of a group therapy. I asked him if he's been working on his poker face, he said that if he has a good hand he'll just make a face like he has gas. Good ol' Sam. Always joking around.

Wow what a night last night!!!!! I think it was just awesome and couldn't have gone any better. Thank you so much Brad and the great staff at the Loft for putting everything together. Thanks Buddy for being the "facilitator". Rachel did a great job with helping with the auction and Leigh brought some good food... thanks guys. Also thank you to all the individuals and businesses who donated some great items (I was really blown away at what all was up for auction). Thanks to you guys for bidding on stuff. We raised over $5500 from the silent auction. That's amazing! That doesn't include what the Loft made from tips and sales. 100% of that is being donated to Sam's recovery as well.

I'd like to send our thoughts and prayers to the family of Carter Butts: Mr. Randy, Mrs. Rachel, and Rebecca. Sam and we all were very sad to hear of his accident.

I'll talk to you all soon,
George
